Amidst the annual furor over the White House Correspondents Dinner

came the news that the state GOP Convention put a primary challenger on the ballot against their supposedly unbeatlably popular incumbent Charlie Baker.

Yup Scott Lively a vicious homophobic pastor from Springfield Ma was worth 27% of the vote in a legit GOP convocation, scary huh?
Well its scary for Baker I think.
The GOP base is putting their famously shifty Governor that they won't tolerate too much moderation from Baker and they certainly don't want him decisively breaking with President Trump.
So of course, Baker called Lively every name in the book and started yapping away about his pro death penalty bona fides (be ready he'll be talking about that panacea from now til election night)...hardly a profile in courage in action believe me.
Meanwhile if Lively really wanted to Tear It Up, he ought to try for either Trump's endorsement or even get him to do a joint appearance together, that would be, instructive indeed.
